Creating titles and labels

All graphs can include a title, subtitle, and footnote. Most graphs can also include a Category Axis title and a Numeric Y1-Axis title. Other axis titles may be available depending on the graph type.

You can specify the title and axis labels for a graph report, as well as their location within the report. You can also select whether you want title and labels information to be displayed. Titles help to clearly identify the graph.

The Graph Preferences dialog box can be used to add, change, or delete a title, subtitle, footnote, Category title, X-Axis title, Value title (Y1 and Y2), and Series Axis title in the graph. Note that not all title or label options are available for every graph type.

You can also change the location, font, and color of titles by using formatting options.

To create titles and labels

  1. Run a report. (How?)

  2. If the report is not already in Graph view, from the View menu, choose Graph View.

  3. From the Graph menu, select Titles and Labels. The Preferences dialog box opens.

  4. With the Titles category selected, select a check box for a component for which to create a title or label and enter a title name in the space provided. For more information, refer to Titles.

  5. Type text to display for the title or label. For the following components, you can also enter variables so the titles are generated automatically every time the report is run. Variables can be used to display the report name, current date and time, report description, name of the project, name of the user executing the report, and so on:

    • Title

    • Subtitle

    • Footnote

    • X Axis (for Scatter and Bubble charts only)

    • Y Axis (for Scatter and Bubble charts only)

  6. After you finish with a title, click OK to save any changes and return to the graph.
